F-16 Dead stick landing into Elizabeth City, N.C

[Carl Schwamberger]

A similar incident in 1987:

Tragically Maj Teagarden's Corsair hit the ground a little short of the runway. Not quite enough energy to cover 15 miles & 31,000 feet.

I dont know if this next one is real or some sort of Wiki BS. If factual it suggests why you dont want to be hasty about departing your aircraft.

& then there is the infamous story of the F15 landing without a wing.
